The dynamic of Colorado's two-day training camp had a bigger impact on the goalies than any other position. Since timing and confidence is everything for a goaltender to start the new season, to be lacking in either of those areas will certainly lend a hand to struggling over the weekend. Even more important, however, is the negative effect of almost no one-on-one time with their new goalie coach, Kirk McLean.
It happened last season with Jocelyn Thibault. For two days, he ran drills with Billy Sauer, Peter Delmas, Tyler Weiman, Trevor Cann and Peter Budaj. The comments below were the opening paragraph of my goaltending recap of last year's training camp:
"A prospect can improve at an incredibly fast rate when someone that mastered the position at the NHL level is constantly providing that prospect with feedback. Especially with a position like goaltending, one that relies on non-stop progression and refinement, having a goalie consultant that understands the nature of the game (especially in 2009) and can relate to today's elite puck stoppers is the most important factor in developing the goalie depth chart."
This year, however, I did not see McLean do any legitimate goalie-specific drills with the prospects, neither during Rookie Camp nor at any point this weekend. That lack of goalie training over the last five days seriously affected two Avs prospects that have tremendous long-term value and potential - Brandon Maxwell and Calvin Pickard.
Both goalies struggled in training camp, but not because they lack the skill or confidence needed to excel at the pro level. It was simply due to the extreme jump that comes from facing shots at the major-junior level, taking the summer off, then facing shots at the NHL level. That alone is an extremely tough task. But having to do it without the valuable advice that comes from an NHL goalie coach is nearly impossible.
But even without the goalie-specific drills with McLean, all of the Avs goalies did plenty of things that impressed the coaching and scouting staff over the weekend.
CRAIG ANDERSON - When all was said and done, Anderson performed in a very similar fashion to last year's training camp. You can read more about his performance earlier in the week, as not much changed over the weekend. He still chose to stand up to stop a number of shots as opposed to the typical reaction we would see during the regular season.
Overall, I was not alarmed or impressed by Anderson's performance in training camp. I think he would have really benefited from having some one-on-one time with McLean, as it would have helped him snap into focus a little more. By the end of camp last year, that ferocious, snarling attitude was prevalent and clearly visible. This year, however, he was much more laid back and jovial. Enjoying the experience is fine, but that fierceness is what made him such a tough competitor last season. And it really helped him start off on the right foot in October. It's not to say that same attitude won't return over the next week, but compared to last year, I saw very little of that competitive fire over the weekend.
CALVIN PICKARD - Pickard impressed me because of his durability, steadiness and overall net presence. He is definitely poised to be a better long-term goalie than his brother, Chet, who is battling for a spot behind Pekka Rinne in Nashville. He plays that calm butterfly style and does an excellent job of sealing holes and letting pucks hit him. He works very hard to see the puck around bodies and creates his own flawless sightlines. That consistent work ethic is one of his best assets - he played 62 games last season with the Thunderbirds and proved he can handle a heavy workload and execute with high levels of energy regardless of how many shots he faces.
Was he scrambly at times? Absolutely. Did he give up bad rebounds? Sure did. But did any of that come from a lack of talent? Not even close. It comes from the jump in pace and speed that comes from NHL shooters. And even though the competition caused his confidence to wane over the weekend, that work ethic and positive attitude never dropped at all. He made big saves on breakaways on a number of occasions in this year's camp and he displayed to me exactly what makes him such a tremendous prospect. One or two more years in Seattle, maybe a little more weight and refinement and he will be primed and ready to begin his pro career in the AHL.
If you look at the two photos included here, you'll notice some of what I mean. In the first one above, he's frozen solid on a shot that beats him low glove side. The inability to track the puck with his eyes causes him to tense up and brace for a shot. And that means he's not executing correctly. In the shot below, he reacts to a Kyle Quincey blast by standing up and trying to re-direct the puck with his blocker and stick. Instead of butterflying and getting a pad behind the shot, he stands up and whiffs completely. The result? A puck in the back of the net.
These shots only represent a small sample of goals that resulted from a lack of timing and experience. At his age, one can't expect him to have the ability or wherewithal to execute at this level. But in most instances, including the photo below, he displayed outstanding net coverage and showed why he plays bigger than his size would predict.
BRANDON MAXWELL - Maxwell impressed me this weekend because of his refined technique and style. He has faster footwork and a tighter stance. Last season, I considered him a "calm butterfly" goalie that relied more on solid positioning than reactions. He was what you would call a passive goalie, one that waits for the puck to hit him instead of flashing feet and hands in order to take away space.
This season, he had a much better balance of both. And that balance is what every goalie needs to be truly successful in the NHL. His stance and execution in this year's camp was much more active and his faster feet allowed him to be better positioned to make those second and third saves. Overall, I could clearly see vast improvements in most areas of his game. This is a luxury that comes with playing in the CHL. He played close to 50 games and faced a ton of shots against the best players in his age range.
The areas in which he struggled during camp included shots up high - namely glove side - and deflections. These just so happen to be the two areas that are exposed the most when timing and confidence is not where it needs to be. Therefore, I took nothing negative away from most of the goals he allowed in the warm-ups and scrimmages. But breaking down his performance from a technique and skill standpoint (a la our patented scouting charts), the grades and ratings went up in almost every category.
TREVOR CANN - Cann impressed me because of his adjusted mechanics and improved skating. Just like for any hockey player, skating ability is the most important skill to have. If you can't skate, you can't stop the puck in an efficient manner. Last season, Cann was the slowest goalie on the team. His entire stride mechanics were not anywhere close to where they needed to be. But over the season, possibly the summer, something changed.
He's faster. He's better balanced. He's much more mobile. He's more confident. I could go on and on. He was the most improved goalie in the system and has gone from being in my doghouse to being a potential #4 goalie in the system. Of course John Grahame will cover that role for now behind Jason Bacashihua, but next year, Cann will be ready for a full season in the AHL. And more AHL games this season could prove he's ready now. It's possible, but I wasn't that impressed. He still has a lot of work to do before he's considered anything more than a future AHL'er.
PETER BUDAJ -To explain my thoughts on Budaj's performance in camp, I have one word for you - confident. Last season, he had a real defeated attitude and constantly buried his head into the ice. He was intimidated by Craig Anderson's presence and he struggled with his rebound control. This season, however, Budaj clearly knows his role and has embraced what he means to this team. The fact he was re-signed after playing so little last year says a lot for his influence in the locker room and on the bench.
Because of his happy-go-lucky attitude, Budaj clearly fills the backup role on this team to perfection. He's the best kind of partner a goalie like Anderson could hope for. And with that comes plenty of comfort for Budaj. Because of this, he played a much more relaxed and composed butterfly style than what was seem in last year's camp.
Another visible difference in Budaj's game is that his pads (due to new sizing regulations) are probably a 1/4-inch to a 1/2-inch shorter than last year's. This is not a negative thing, for a goalie that wears slightly shorter pads will not only benefit from an increase in mobility, but they will feel a little lighter and execute just a little bit easier as well. Above you see a shot of Budaj's thigh rises and how there's a tiny bit of space, but combined with his confidence, his technique in areas like rebound control, butterfly slides and overall movement in the scrimmages was visibly better than last season.
JASON BACASHIHUA - Cold Hard Cash is back in an Avalanche uniform and better than ever. But I'll have a more in-depth article on him, including an interview with his goalie coach over the summer and some videos, next week. Briefly, he's more calm, patient and mobile than last season and a lot of that comes from his improved footwork. He also has one of the most underrated gloves in the AHL.
CLOSING THOUGHTS - Ultimately, I was very impressed by the improvement of the three youngest goalies in camp and the performance of the top four goalies in camp. Grahame struggled the most of the NHL and AHL goalies, but I don't think it's worth explaining the reasons why. He's simply here to provide stability behind Bacashihua. It's fun to see him try and stop the puck using the traditional butterfly style that dominated the game in the late-90's, but other than that, he's not a very capable goalie.
Unfortunately, the overall development of Avalanche goaltending as a whole was somewhat impacted by a lack of goalie-specific training on the ice with McLean. He was on the bench for a few scrimmages and then on the drills side of the ice today, but I didn't see anything more than some conversation with the goalies at different points over the weekend. I only have one set of eyes, so if you saw something I didn't, please leave a comment below.
A goalie coach is extremely crucial to a prospect's success in a pro training camp. Without the micro-analysis, the verbal feedback and the positive reinforcement from McLean on the ice over the last five days, Pickard and Maxwell clearly struggled to keep up. But again, it was not a reflection of a lack of skill or long-term upside. The Avalanche failed to take advantage of a great opportunity to really enhance Pickard's first camp experience and Maxwell's second. And for myself, that was a little disappointing.

The truth is that Kirk McLean has never occupied the position at a pro level of a goal tending coach. I think based on what Justin Goldman has seen during his lengthy one practice observations ...my apologies if you have repeatedly watched Kirk at work? It just seems like the guy cannot be judged on a single event much less a single point of view. Are you a goal tending coach? A goaltender? I apologize if you are - you would obviously have more intuition that a casual fan of 30 years... oh ... I am a former player and a goalie at that. Mind you it was only beer league.
But keep things in perspective - and don't submarine unless you have a more in depth analysis that your single eavesdropping event ... did you speak to Kirk McLean?
I apologize if you did ... I have - he is a very fine community orientated individual who played superb goal for well over a decade... him being a part of the local community presented an excellent opportunity to see what he does beyond his on - ice job.
I guess every person is entitled to their point of view ... just make sure you present a well rounded and researched opinion before you take swipes indirectly at a man's reputation.

text: Two issues here. First, the valve inside the house should be changed to a ball valve. These provide a 100% shut off and do not leak. Second. The valve at the meter does require a special "key" These will vary in configuration. Some are a square or rectangular hole, some are a U shape that fits over a T, and there may be others. However, you should realize that most cities prohibit homeowners and sometimes even plumbers from using these keys. The meter is the property of the city and they just don't want citizens turning water on/off. They usually will come and turn the valve for you, but that can take some time. That said, my personal feeling is that for emergencies having a key of your own can prevent alot of damage to your property. I have a "war story" to go with that, but I'll save you from it. You should be able to tell what you need for a meter key either from a rod attached to the meter valve or from the valve itself on the meter. (Depends on how deep the meter is) I had my key made for me by a welder friend out of 1" pipe.

- There is a much more subtle and completely novel threat to man's survival that looms, every year more menacingly, beside that of an atomic holocaust; the cluster of world-wide problems - not only material in nature - growing at an incredible speed when viewed in historical perspective, and called by The Club of Rome the "problématique humaine. In fact, we believe that even without the atomic world war, human existence as we know it is threatened if no way can be found to resolve this crisis syndrome." (p.xi)
- Mesarovic and Pestel (1974) cited in: Robert C. Tucker (1995) Politics As Leadership. p.116
- There is no such concept as one limit for the entice system: rather different parts of the system face different limits at different times with the traumatic experiences for the entire system depending on the interrelationship of the constituent parts - the collapse, if it occurs, would he regional rather than global, even though the entire global system would be affected. (p.55)

- We found that technological optimism is the common and the most dangerous reaction to our findings... Technology can relieve the symptoms of the problem without affecting the underlying causes. Faith in technology as the ultimate solution to all problems can thus divert our attention from the most fundamental problem— the problem of growth in a finite system- and prevent us from taking effective action to solve it... We would deplore an unreasoned rejection of the benefits of technology as strongly as we argue here against an unreasoned acceptance of them. Perhaps the best summary of our position is the motto of the Sierra Club; not blind opposition to progress but opposition to blind progress.
Taking no action to solve these problems is equivalent of taking strong action. Every day of continued exponential growth brings the world system closer to the ultimate limits of that growth. A decision to do nothing is a decision to increase the risk of collapse.
The way to proceed is clear... [we posses] all that is necessary to create a totally new form of human society... the two missing ingredients are the realistic long-term goal... and the human will to achieve that goal. (p.88)

- [Another significant aspect of the concept of growth is the distinction that Mesarovic and Pestel draw between "undifferentiated" and "organic" growth. The former type of growth, according to these authors, consists of mere replication of cells by cellular division, usually expotentially, with an increase in quantity alone. The latter type of growth]
"involves a process of differentiation, which means that various groups of cells begin to differ in structure and function... During and after differentiation the number of cells can still increase, and the organs grow in size, but while some organs grow, others might celine."

KMail, Evolution, Thunderbird, and Claws Mail
We examine the strengths and weaknesses of four popular mail clients: KMail, Evolution, Thunderbird, and Claws Mail.
An early challenge of the Internet pioneers was to find a way to send small text messages across a network. Despite criticism that sending snippets of text was "not an important motivation for a network of scientific computers" [1], email quickly became one of the world's most important forms of communication.
The simple console-based text programs used by those Internet pioneers would never work today. Modern email clients must contend with new irritants such as spam, intrusion, and skyrocketing volumes of email traffic.

A memorial service for Mindy McCready's life partner, David Wilson, was held January 19 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. E! News notes that the country singer and the nine-month-old son she had with Wilson, Zayne, did not attend.
A friend of Wilson's tells E! News, "She might have wanted to deal with it in her own way." The source adds, "I think she wanted something more private with her family in Heber Springs."
Wilson, who was 34, died January 13 after authorities responded to his Heber Springs home on a report of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Zac Brown Band has signed on to perform the Daytona 500 Budweiser Pre-Race show at the Daytona International Speedway on Sunday, February 24. The race will broadcast live that afternoon at 12 p.m. CSTon Fox, and Zac Brown Band member Clay Cook has been tapped to sing the national anthem at the big event.
Zac Brown Band is just the latest big-name act to play the pre-race concert at the Daytona 500, following the likes of Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Bon Joviand Kelly Clarkson.
For more information on tickets, including a Zac Brown Band VIP package, go toDaytonaInternationalSpeedway.com.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman make a point to be with each other as much as possible, but sometimes their relationship happens virtually when they're on opposite sides of the globe. That's exactly what happened Sunday when Keith got to their house in Sydney, Australia and turned on the TV to see his wife walk the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles.
"I got to see what she was wearing," Keith tells Sydney's Daily Telegraph. "I hit pause on one shot and stood there staring at her...and started crying. I hated the fact she was there without me, on her own."
Keith and Nicole were reunited Monday in Sydney, but they didn't have much downtime. Keith's Australian tour continues Thursday in Sydney.
Now that Taylor Swift's unattached, all eyes are on who she'll date next...and apparently, it won't beBradley Cooper.
Speaking to Extra, the Oscar-nominated star of Silver Linings Playbook dismissed a recent report that he turned down a chance to get together with Taylor. The reportclaimed that Cooper's Silver Linings Playbook star, Jennifer Lawrence, approached him on Taylor's behalf to see if he'd be interested, but he said no. Why? Because, claimed the report, Cooper feels Taylor's too young for him, and he didn't want to get involved with a "serial dater."But Cooper called B.S. on the whole report, telling Extra, "Crazy, never met her, that's not even true at all… that's completely made up." Cooper was obviously familiar with the story, because he added, "Somebody said that she talked to Jen? Yeah, not true." Here's video of Bradley putting the kabash on the rumor.
Luke Bryan has collected the tracks from his four Spring Break EPs for his new album,Spring Break…Here to Party, due out March 5. The set also includes two new songs, and Luke loves being able to deliver these fun and sometimes racier songs to his fans.
"We kind of write 'em with college kids and Spring Break and that whole party theme in mind," Luke says. "I think it's fun to put out songs that, you know, just to get some new music out there for fans and more opportunities for them to have a different type of music from me."
Luke is also set to play his annual concerts at Spinnaker's Beach Club in Panama City, Florida, March 12 and 13. Last year, more than 40,000 fans flocked to the beachfront shows each day. Luke will also play a show on his Dirt Road Diaries tour at the Amphitheatre at the Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama, on March 14.

The Gmc Suburban distributor rotor's real job is to ensure that electricity generated through the ignition system is going to be directed without delay to the spark plugs to fire up the engine and keep the vehicle running. The Gmc Suburban distributor rotor provides spark and assures you of perfect timing for ignition. If not for a fully functional rotor that maintains a constant stream of electrical power, you may have to suffer from poor ignition system efficiency that will lead to a lot of problems on your motor vehicle.
Because this ignition part transports high voltage all the time, the distributor rotor of your Gmc Suburban can get damaged over time. A damaged Gmc Suburban distributor rotor could be the result of the rotor's contact with intense temperature level and operating conditions, which add tension on the automotive engine. Don't forget to examine the distributor rotor for whatever form of deterioration during maintenance or after a specified number of miles or service years. Never make it possible for a rusty distributor rotor to cause complicated ignition system breakdownâget a durable OE replacement to match your Gmc Suburban.

The raspy voice on the phone was a familiar one. He calls almost weekly to fill my ear with his opinions on local matters and yesterday he was just the first of many.
He thinks Peterborough police board chair Ken Armstrong erred and the Durham police were wrong to clear his name. He made a series of outrageous statements that I won't print but didn't seem to have anything to back them up.
Moments later, a voicemail from another citizen detailed his interpretation of the City's policy on safe workplaces and why Mr. Armstrong didn't violate it. The previous day, a woman challenged me to defend Mr. Armstrong since he was being unfairly targeted. When I asked her if you would put her name to that statement, she declined.
These are just a few examples of people who want newspapers and other media to speak their opinions, without having to face the heat from people who disagree with their viewpoints. In this age of online anonymity behind screen names, we find more and more readers are reluctant to sign their names to letters, saying they are concerned about backlash.
This isn't particularly new, and our response to those requests are not either: if you're asking us to stand up and share your voice, the least you can do is stand up with us. That's all we really ask.
What most people don't realize is that the person speaking out and the newspaper are liable for libel if you cross the line. So if you go too far, we're both going to need lawyers and the money to pay for them.
We saw some brave souls face terrible wrath last year when they disagreed with opponents to the Peterborough Needs PCVS campaign. Strong emotions bring out strong reactions and I admire those who raised their voices even knowing how much the school's supporters would take their comments personally.
At the same time, we provide more leeway on MyKawartha.com as readers can use screen names when they comment. The difference from the printed news is that we can remove comments that go too far and take them out of the debate within minutes. You cannot erase a statement from 48,000 newspapers delivered across the region.
When in doubt, the bar we (and our lawyers) ask people to meet is the standard of fair comment. It assumes that a reasonable person would agree with a statement based on factual information and made without malice. This lesson is a staple at journalism schools and one reason we hire people with those diplomas.
At times, we cringe as we see some comments made on Facebook or other unmonitored online sites by people with a vendetta or a strong political or personal view. In the heat of the moment, it's too easy to type words you regret, without knowing the damage they can cause.
We welcome your calls and messages since they point us towards tips and good questions to ask. However, if you want your opinion on our pages, you'll have to sign your name to it. To us, that's only fair.

Master Series
The first Master Series of 2014 will be offered here at our new facilities in Long Island City, February 23rd & 24th. The series will be intensive, covering various aspects of the cheese world, all the way from cheese making to pairing with wines. This series promises to be a special one, as students will witness some of the final stages of assembly of our new facilities.
Back when we opened our old plant on Manhattan's west side we were at the cutting edge in the industry: with our five cheese-maturing caves, production facilities, and our lovely events & education room. The industry has evolved and what was state-of-the-art in 2003 is now only sufficient, at least as far as affinage (cheese maturing) is concerned. Our production area was suitable too, yet only for the first couple of years after opening. It soon became apparent that we would require more space to work with our cheeses, larger caves, in order to keep up with the rising demand for our high-quality cheeses.
I often recommend that tight spaces are best for cheeses, up to a point. It is far easier to maintain cheeses in smaller spaces than larger one: the proper humidity, temperature, air exchange and microflora. I recall seeing the cheese caves in restaurants around the US in the early aughts; almost all of them were too large for the sizes of those operations. It is valuable to keep in mind that a little bit of cheese goes a long way. So our own fully packed cheese caves worked relatively well, the biggest problems were their ventilations. Certain parts of each cave had excessive air exchange while others were practically "dead." The area outside those caves, the production area, was a little tight too, especially during busier weeks.
Bottom line: Now that we have been at it for over a decade, added to the years working out of the restaurants Picholine and the Artisanal Bistro, we have learned a lot about how to operate a cheese facility of this type. How to get the right product mix, find the top quality in each category, cure the cheeses to their optimal levels of ripeness, wrap them expertly, ship to our customers in good packaging, and provide the best customer service possible (which includes education).
It seems that there are a myriad of facets to the cheese industry so we will do our best to cover the essentials in this two-day series. We will also be eating quite a lot of cheese. Yum!

Quiet and pleasant, a little wobbly
This fan doesn't take up much space. It's quiet and provides a pleasant light breeze. The only drawback as I can see thus far (we've had it for about a week) is that when installed on the pedestal (which is optional) it is a little wobbly. This is depsite following the assembly instructions and screwing everything in tight. It doesn't seem to pose any problems to the fan's function.
Fan is everything we wanted in air movement throughout the house.
tower fanI love the fan. It can be a little loud, but it works great and looks modern. Love it!
ownerSecond summer (only) of use and it has completely quit. Why would I buy another ?
Honeywell tower fanI love this fan. It is not bulky and the slim line effect is just perfect. It is easy to carry about from room to room if I so desire and I can easily control the amount of cool air required.
Honeywell tower fanI bought two today. Just set up the 2nd while enjoying the effects of the first.I am well pleased and the beauty of the fan is it is quiet and very effective in cooling the air.
Great value for priceInexpensive, compact, works great
Not GreatMy mother in law purchased this for my husbands birthday. We get it out of the box and no screws where there. so now we have to find the correct screws so we can get the fan to start working.
Tower fansI bought 2 yesterday and so far so good. Nice and quiet and easy operation.

Lewis, Robertson Named to Buchanan Award Watch List
RICHMOND, Va. – The Sports Network released its Buck Buchanan Award Watch List on Thursday, with a pair of standout seniors in Villanova's Antoine Lewis and James Madison's Stephon Robertson representing CAA Football on the 20-member list.
Lewis was selected to the All-CAA First Team this past season after tallying 50 tackles, including 29 solo, 8.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, one fumble recovery and one pass breakup. For his career, the Somers Point, N.J., product has played in 36 games and registered 142 tackles, including 76 solo, while compiling 16.0 tackles for loss, four sacks, three fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles, one pass break-up and one blocked kick.
Robertson returns to the Buchanan Watch List after further establishing himself as the core of a dominant James Madison defense that has consistently been among the league leaders in virtually every defensive statistical category. The Alexandria, Va., native and reigning CAA Football Defensive Player of the Year wrapped up his junior campaign ranked third in the league with 101 tackles and led the Dukes with 8.5 tackles for loss. Robertson also recorded a sack, an interception and five pass breakups on the year.
For the complete Buchanan Award Watch List release, please visit sportsnetwork.com. The Sports Network has also created an award homepage accessible here.
The Buchanan Award Watch List can undergo revision during the 2013 season. Ballots will be sent to a panel of about 175 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries after the close of the regular season on Nov. 23. The top three vote-getters will be invited to The Sports Network FCS Awards Presentation in December.
The Sports Network also presents the Walter Payton, Jerry Rice and Eddie Robinson Awards. The Payton Award honors the FCS player of the year, the Rice Award goes to the FCS freshman of the year and the Robinson Award honors the FCS coach of the year. The Rice Award and Robinson Award winners will join the top three Payton Award finalists at December's national awards banquet.
CAA Football is on Twitter @CAAFootball and uses the official hashtag #CAAFB. We can also be found on Facebook, Instagram and blogging on our Every Day Is Saturday official blog at caafootball.wordpress.com. All CAA Football video productions can be found on our YouTube Channel.

Radiation Oncology Services
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) offers a full range of cancer treatments such as bone marrow transplants, cranial and extracranial radiosurgery, high-dose-rate and low-dose-rate brachytherapy, total body irradiation and total skin electron beam therapy. In conjunction with The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ), RWJUH also offers many patients access to exciting new treatments that are not available at most other hospitals.
A unique partnership between research scientists at RWJUH and independent community physicians, who treat patients with different conditions, provides opportunities to match the right individual with an appropriate protocol.
"Having a program that provides clinical trials makes it possible for us to make new treatments available, but also protects people from unnecessary or potentially harmful treatments," explains Michael Nissenblatt, MD, associate director of medical oncology. "The relationship blends science with compassionate care; every patient treated for cancer at RWJUH benefits from the cooperation between scientists who have selected research as a career and physicians who have chosen to focus on patient care and disease management."
Just as no two cancers are exactly alike, neither are the strategies for treating them. Physicians and nurses at RWJUH are not just specialists — they are subspecialists in their respective fields. As such, they know what treatments are most likely to produce the best results, depending on many variables.
"A patient who has, for instance, breast cancer or prostate cancer will see a team that spends 80 to 90 percent of its time focusing on that specific type of cancer," explains Bruce Haffty, MD, chief of radiation oncology at RWJUH, chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and associate director of CINJ.
RWJUH offers a wide range of the most modern, effective radiation technologies such as external beam radiotherapy (IMRT, IGRT and 3D conformal), radiosurgery, brachytherapy (interstitial, intracavitory, HDR and LDR) and TomoTherapy.
In 2010, RWJUH plans to have one of the first single-vault (oneroom) proton beam systems in the United States. This more compact, less costly version of a conventional proton beam machine emits positively charged atomic particles that can be focused precisely on small cancerous growths, without harming the surrounding, healthy tissue.
"Unlike conventional x-ray-based technologies, proton beams don't exit the body; they essentially enter the tumor and stop," Dr. Haffty says. "Proton beams are especially useful in pediatric cases because you don't want radiation to have a potentially harmful effect on the growing tissue surrounding a tumor. The technology can also be used to attack tumors that are deep-seated in the brain, or on the back of an eye, for example, where you want to treat a very specific area."
Radiation Oncology at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) provides patients with a wide range of services that include external beam radiotherapy (IMRT, IGRT and 3D conformal), radiosurgery, brachytherapy (interstitial, intracavitory, HDR and LDR) and TomoTherapy. Proton Beam Radiation will be implemented in the near future.
Our goal is to deliver high quality medical care and services to patients, to conduct clinical, translational and basic scientific research, and to provide educational opportunities to patients, health care workers, and the community.
Through our mission and goals we seek to improve treatment and outcomes of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy.
3D Conformal Radiation Therapy - Sophisticated computer-assisted tomography (CT) scans and computer software tools are used to reconstruct patient anatomy in 3D and treat tumors throughout the body.
Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) - Top-notch planning and delivery technology applies high dose conformal radiation to the targeted tumor, while carefully avoiding critical organs.
Gated Radiation Therapy - Computer assisted state-of-the-art technology to manage the intra-fraction motion (the target and organ motion during treatment). The technology may potentially reduce side effects and improve tumor control.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) - We provide state-of-the-art radiosurgery for brain, spine and other body sites using the Radionics XKnife system. This allows highly accurate "pinpointed" radiation treatment within the brain, spinal cord or other critical areas of the body. Radiosurgery can be delivered in one dose (stereotactic radiosurgey) or in several fractions (stereotactic radiotherapy).
Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) - Some tumors may move slightly from day to day, or even during an individual treatment session. Image guided radiotherapy allows us to see the tumor throughout treatment, assuring that the radiation beam is treating tumor cells and avoiding normal tissue.
High Dose Rate (HDR) and Low Dose Rate (LDR) Brachytherapy - Brachytherapy involves the placement of radioactive "seeds" or sources directly into or around tumors, allowing for high tumor dose while sparing other normal tissues. Brachytherapy is performed in concert with Gynecologic, Urologic or General Surgery doctors, and treatment is prescribed and monitored closely by Radiation Oncologists and Physicists. HDR treatment allows high dose delivery to certain tumor types without the hospitalization associated with LDR treatments. Our Radiation Oncologists have been highly trained in brachytherapy techniques, assuring patients safe and effective treatment.

First baby of 2013 in FargoFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Imagine ringing in 2013 with a new baby!
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Imagine ringing in 2013 with a new baby!
This morning, Lyla Wegscheid was the very first baby to be born in the metro area. She arrived at four-37 this morning, weighing seven pounds and two ounces.
She is 20 and a half inches long. But her parents weren't expecting her so soon.
Both Tim and Amelia were celebrating with friends, when her water broke...After finding a sober ride, which wasn't an easy task, Lyla was born.
She's a week early, but mom says she's glad to have her baby girl and a great story to tell.

Greece: Eurocrisis and Popular Resistance
Center for Social Theory and Comparative History Colloquium with Stathis Kouvelakis, Department of French, Kings College and Stergios Skaperdas, Department of Economics, UC Irvine.
Published: Tuesday, January 31, 2012
Please install flash or upgrade to a browser that supports HTML5 video
This colloquium kicks off CSTCH's annual series for 2012, "Crisis, Revolution, Reaction," on the series of rebellions that have shaken the world during the past year. The session takes as its point of departure the financial cum political crisis that has gripped the eurozone, and focuses in on the maturation of the Greek financial meltdown. It considers, against that background, the development of political conflict in Greece, and especially the rise of a dynamic mass popular movement of resistance. Among the questions to be considered: What has been the cost to the Greek citizenry, in terms of living standards, of the nation's continuing adherence to the euro? Should Greece leave the euro, and will it do so? What is the nature and significance of the new forms of direct democracy that have emerged in the course of the struggle against austerity? What is the likely future of the Papademos government, brought to power at the end of October 2011 by way of the extraordinary coup d'etat led by Germany and France?
Stathis Kouvelakis is author of Philosophy and Revolution: From Kant to Marx (2003).
Stergios Skaperdas is the co-author of The Political Economy of Conflict and Appropriation (2008). He is also a co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of the Economics of Peace and Conflict (2012).

You remember Incognito, the guy with a hot head, who contributed at least 25 yards to the Seahawks' cause in the season-opener. Well, he's among Continue reading →


text: I don't know if your area enforces the requirements on these BFPs like my city, but I am required to have a certified inspector perform an annual test and re-certify my BFP is working. If it has a leak or is not holding, the inspector has the necessary O rings, seals, etc. to make the repair. It seem a bit unusual that a 1 year old device would be leaking, but stuff happens. This testing requires a license and test equipment and is not a DIY job. If I do not get the certification done, the city shuts my water off. Seems to me that the last time I had to have repairs made, it cost about $30 above the $35 testing fee. I do not have a Watts, but it appears to be similar.

Flying Alarm Clock
Product Details
The Flying Alarm Clock has all the functionality of a regular alarm clock, such as digital time display, snooze function and alarm. But the alarm has an added twist - perched on the top of the clock is what looks like a black ping-pong with propeller blades. When your alarm goes off it starts to spin and takes off into the air, while the siren-esque alarm sounds. It will continue to do this until you've caught the flying bit and slotted it back into the top of the clock.
- An alarm clock with a flying attachment that takes off when the alarm sounds.
- Two parts to the clock; the base and a propeller top.
- A digital time display.
- A siren-esque alarm.
- Snooze function .
- Requires 4 x AA Batteries (not included).
- Suitable for ages 8 years+.
- 14 x 14 x 9cm.

It's OK, may fly better of the mains
I bought the Flying Alarm Clock for a friend who never gets up in the morning. I received it within a few days, and I gave it a quick test. It's not quite as good as I was expecting - running it off the supplied batteries means that the flying disc flies around 3cm/1 inch off the base before falling to the ground. It can be run off the mains using a six-volt power supply which wasn't included so I haven't tested it off that, but my guess is that may fly better off that. I'm happy to keep it for now, to see if my friend is happy with it. Just don't expect it to fly very high or far!
I bought this Flying Alarm Clock as a (not very) Secret Santa present for my flatmate because she kept complaining about being late for lectures. She was kept guessing by myself and the others but she loved it when she opened it. I'm not sure the feeling's lasted but her attendance rate has definitely improved this term. The alarm is really loud and I was slightly concerned that it would wake me up in the morning too but thankfully that's not been a problem. As for using it, she's had to put it on her desk at the other end of her bedroom so she's forced to get up to switch it off. The flying top generally flies straight up, hits the ceiling and falls back down again quite close to the alarm. Overall, really good present, that has provided much amusement for the entire flat as well as ensuring the recipient gets out of bed on time.
flying alarm clock
This Flying Alarm Clock is a great gift. I bought this for my 9 year old grandson who has great difficulty in getting up especially for school. The extremely loud siren type noise is impossible to ignore (could do with one myself). He'll have to get up to stop it, as the propellor travels quite a way. Excellent product.
Works very well!
I bought this alarm clock for my brother, who is awful at getting up when his alarm goes off because he 'doesn't hear it'. The flying alarm clock has worked everytime so far so I think it's a great buy - I never have to get up to wake my brother up again because this alarm clock does its job properly!
off off and away!
I bought this Flying Alarm Clock for my sister who sleeps through every alarm and presses the snooze buttons every 5 minutes so the whole house gets woken up! Alas that is no more, this loud alarm seems to get her out of her slumber but then before she can try to sleep through it, the top flies away and she's running like a lunatic around the room to find the piece to put it back on. After this mini marathon session she is awake!
Revenge on the teenagers !
Simply perfect! It is completely annoying and actually requires the teenager to get out of bed, find the "helico" part amidst the chaos of the bedroom and place it back on the clock base for the siren to stop! It was bought as a gift for our neighbours teenage son and they are very pleased with it!
Good - when it works!
This was our second purchase of this Flying Alarm Clock, to replace one which was broken through no fault of its own. The best things about it are that it has an amazingly irritating (and therefore impossible to ignore) alarm, and the fact that you have to get out of bed to shut it off, as the rotor has flown off.
Rude awakening
The reason I bought the flying alarm clock in the first place is that I find it next to impossible to wake up in the mornings. I no longer have this problem as I have to get out of bed just to turn my alarm clock off - job done. Although in the mornings I really dislike my alarm clock, that's only natural. It's a necessary evil. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has a similar difficulty to myself. It even comes apart for easy transport without having to worry about damage. A brilliant idea and one that I wish I'd come up with myself!

LDotters - Don´t fall for all the salacious nonsense about this bimbo eruption. The real questions revolve around the "Embassy Annex." which apparently was a CIA operation, manned by several dozen people, and with heavy machine guns on the roof. What was going on there?Were they holding Libyan prisoners there (as in a "Black Site")? Were they there to collect the munitions illegally supplied to the Libyans by the CIA? Was it a transshipment point to illegally supply arms to Syrian "rebels?" Was Ambassador Stevens having dinner with the Turkish Ambassador to arrange using Turkey as a corridor for those weapons into Syria?All the so-called "Middle East Experts," Congress and the idiots in the press have wet their pants over another sex scandal and are helping to bury and obfuscate what may be the real story.What was the CIA doing in that "Annex?"

Which of the three, the twins or Broadwell, was/is a spy for foreign nations?The Axelrod campaign operation IMO is why the FBI was searching for damning info, held in the hip pocket to be used when most effective. Benghazi seems to be the trigger for releasing their research.Didn´t obama remove his opposition in elections in Chi-Town the same way. Don´t trust any of them or trust what they say.

The twin bimbo/social climbing sisters from Tampa are Lebanese Catholics, not Muslims. There are many many Lebanese Christians in Lebanon and here (remember Danny Thomas?). Their parents immigrated here from Lebanon, they were born here.

The women were empowered by a contact in the WH who arranged to have the state dept endow them with credentials to enter the base. They were among the very 1st Friends of McDill...I believe Broadwell, in her investigation for Petraeus, uncovered the WH spy operation & that was the threatening email she sent... not jealousy but busting the spy operation & telling Kelly to back off... which is why Kelly went to the FBI contact not cops.

Me thinks the twins went to the WH tow weasel out a green grant from Obama to bail them out of debt.Thee girls lose sleep over the idea of their shopping being shut down. I know the same type woman but her scale of shopping is microscopic compared to these two.It´s strange to me Obama would raid Browdwell´s house but not ask for the banking records of these women to see if they were getting wire transfers,maybe even from the general in Afghanistan.
